Started and stopped, wrong couple of parts. I'll begin a 556 I have parts for. Ordered the correct parts.

Schitz Now I know why you use this word or a derivative.

I read the list and other stuff on the police page. That is absolutely horrible, beyond words. People can't be trusted, that's not what our founding fathers had in mind. The Government is going to take care of us, BS!!! We better win this next election and not fall asleep. And, I know not to start a sentence with and, but I'm not in the mood. And we better stop bickering among our selves, we need a united front, we'll get rid of the douches in our midst later. Better vote, this poop is coming.

What campaigns are there in NZ? Can we contribute to your gun Organizations?

I have another box o parts somewhere near. Anyway I have all the parts need some advice, not kidding. I can turn to the net but...I want to make it a 308Ar.com build. The right way done easy.

I have the desire to get to the barrelI dammit.

May as well start right here. Same photos, just thought one might be out of focus. Where do I begin? Really. Do I start to dress the lower and upper? I assume that's first.

Ah yes fishing, nothing like fresh caught fish. WTG

I had a difficult time not ordering the Foredom, especially the electric line. No vibration at all, well minimum vibration. I did get the Milwaukee after fretting over the Dremel. I reserve the effinWhore' name calling for the last resort, often times a prelude to the " Hey wanna go fishing Fredo? " line.

I looked at the mess and avoided doing anything.

"...started with" and ____________ finished? Started with and not finished, an idea. Bought all the parts a did nothing out of fear of screwing up. There's enough for three builds here. Didn't photo the stocks. and avoiding the closet of truth, or closet of shame. Way too much stuff being unused. Two uppers hidden, multiple lowers, barrels in tubes. Whoa!!!

Welcome John, thank you for your service, I'm new to Fla, but it is home now.

Received mine yesterday. It is one bright light for a little light, definitely not a toy.

Welcome WGD, from Fla.

How on earth did this thread die? It got better and better. I actually began to read the SD article with interest. By the 2nd paragraph it was nap time. Now I know why I never did finish college. For the life of me I couldn't pass that graph, dot, line stuff. Yep I'm ignorant with that stuff, my brain goes to sleep every time. But throw out some humor and I'm all over it. Thanks.

All this research is a two headed coin in my eyes. On the one side I think of all the wasted resources, the wasted resources. not the necessary. On the flip side if we spend one million dollars and it saves one troop it is well spent. Just thinking on paper, glad it's not my decision.

I have a gas set up, you know the bottle gas hook up. I had a brand new weber standing by for hurricane emergency reasons. After viewing this thread and the mention of how much better charcoal fired food is, well let's just say the Weber is no longer new.

AH, so there are some master mechanics on board. jtallen83, @98Z5V, Thank you for mentioning two very important tricks.

My folks were not mechanics in any sense of the word. we had a pair of pliers, a hammer and one or two screwdrivers. Stripped nuts and curse words went hand in hand and I thought that was the way it was supposed to be. I tried once to fix a door handle with the family ??? toolbox??? when I was a teenager, and discovered why curse words were so important when fixing things. All that these' tools' accomplished was to create stress and relieve stress from cursing. I was lucky to get the door handle back to it's broken condition. Then I saw Alan Alda on * MASH * do his routine on the opposable thumb. Of course this allowed us and our ancestors to become tool users. I had one contractor friend, flush with the spirit of three beers, exclaim that hands were the greatest tool the good Lord ever created. I told him of my 4 tool house and within 3 more beers we were in his truck looking over a treasure trove of miraculous thigamajigs. The first time I held back a bolt with a pair of pump pliers I was hooked. I have just returned from Home Depot and bought some decent files, and a set of ratchet screwdriver bits. I'm throwing out the loose and crappy leftover pieces. HD had no Milwaukee Rotary kit. I'll order one on-line.

...and self cleaning!

Thank you. Milwaukee is the brand of choice for most of us construction guys. My partner for the last several years was a woman so don't break balls over my use of the language as I see fit. She was one of the guys. Milwaukee sawzalls, reciprocating saws, are the best all around power tools. If one were to frame in a house and drill holes for pipe hand's down the Porter Cable with 8 amps would be my choice. Milwaukee good, Porter Cable double bueno. I sold my tools to save on weight from shipping to Fla. Bad choice in my view, the Mrs. was delighted. Don't please mention fishing equipment. I need to get rid of all the crap stuff I have and buy new once more. What do I mean. I have bits and pieces of screw driver sets and sockets. Drives me wild finding a 5/16ths socket driver. Anyway I need good tools. A set of screw driver driven multi set, y'know torx, square, Phillips, flat. I had one set that was amazing, gone with the move. Luckily I have most of the receiver tools we need to keep the Flying Domingo Brothers parts form taking flight under pressure. Take down pins for instance, lovely teeny weeny parts that want to fly away. Any home shop tools of good standing and quality I need. Recommendations are gladly accepted. Off to visit Milwaukee, the tool company, not the town. I visited Milwaukee in my Navy days. Thank God the cop gave me a break, I wasn't tired from playing tennis, we both knew I had too much beer.

@Sisco As soon as you're done with that steak would you mind if I toasted some bread on that well seasoned grill?

Nice move, get him itching for more. Dang competition works wonders.

Late to the party, but damn that's a beauty.

Very cool JT. I just ordered another, and added two 716 bolt catches, is that correct, using those bolt catches?
